Victoire poked Teddy.

"Go away," he mumbled, putting a pillow over his head.

"Is that anyway to talk to your wife of eighteen months?" demanded Victoire playfully.

"No, and I don't care just yet," came his voice from behind the pillow. "Talk to me after noon and I'll be your slave, but right now – "

"You'll have to get used to it soon."

"What are you on about, Tory?"

"Oh, nothing, it's just that we're having a baby."

Teddy sat straight up, wild eyed. "WHAT?"

Victoire covered him back up with the pillow. "I'll tell you after noon," she said sweetly.
